How swearing can be a good thing for teams

The latest research into what makes higher-performing teams

How to create those higher-performing teams by focussing on just two things

Insights into four types of teams and what you can do to avoid sinking, spinning and self-serving teams - and create one that shines.

Adrian is passionate about making meaningful progress. he helps organisations take on the biggest challenges they face by harnessing the power of their people. I help "do together better".

Craig Mackay, Chief Executive Officer and Founder of Sharktower AI

With over 20 years of delivering projects and seeing too many failures, Craig is obsessed with tackling the waste in projects.

Craig has spent his whole career delivering change; whether it be lean process efficiency, people change, software solutions, new product propositions or large scale technology transformations. Throughout this, he has been continually frustrated by the wasted effort (and investment) in project delivery.  Whether it is caused by misaligned incentives, lack of outcome clarity, a "deliver regardless" mindset, working to governance milestones or siloed manual subjective reporting - the failure rate in projects is still too high. Too many projects are still managed by slide decks, sticky notes and gut instinct.  He believes businesses can make better decisions and ultimately make the world a better place. He believes project delivery can be done better if we learn from our mistakes. He believes people could be using their time more effectively if aligned on outcomes. He knows the answer is the use of data to do this. It is time to make change delivery more data-driven.
